However, in the eyes of the English media, Newcastle has the hope of winning the first round of the second phase at home.

The Times analyzed the upcoming game and said that youth and instability are Inter Milan's biggest problems. Although Inter Milan performed well in the league, their performance in the Champions League this season was stumbling, even Ajax and Lyon could make them suffer, and Newcastle could be. The young Robben, Ronaldo, Adriano and Cambiaso are likely to be lost in the rough defense. Relying on several young people to win in England? They are not Leeds United.

"Daily Mail" - What Newcastle has to do is pass the ball to Shearer's head and let Shearer solve the problem. And treat his opponents? Let them experience the feeling of breaking their legs! They will definitely be moved and fearful.

Manchester Evening News said that if even Inter Milan cannot beat at home, then Newcastle's Champions League trip this season will end. Barcelona and Leverkusen are difficult to deal with, and scoring points at home is the only choice.

The Guardian believes that the victory or defeat of the game lies in Robson and Mourinho, and the tactical battle between master and apprentice is the biggest highlight.

The two also praised each other at the press conference.

Mourinho said: "Bobbie Robson is a real footballer. Real footballers are very rare in our lives. Their names and faces and countless glory are permanently left in the glorious football history. The real footballers are legends in the football world. They not only leave indelible marks in the football world, but also leave standards for their younger generations to measure themselves."

"I still remember that my son was just one month old and we were all watching football games. Robson held my son in his arms. I never invited him to dinner. He told me: 'I have more money than you, and the rest of my life is shorter than you. You never have to pay for it when I'm with me. I've never lost anything...'"

"One day he started training and he said to me, 'What do you think about today's training? Because my attention is all about golf games later, so you'll be responsible for the training."

"After one of my failures, he came over and told me, 'Don't be sad. Think about the people from another team, those people will jump up with joy. Try to be happy for them."

"So, he is my great mentor, and he makes me stronger and tougher," Mourinho gave Robson enough respect and respect in front of the media.

"Look at the results he has achieved at Newcastle, other coaches can't do it. He can turn ordinary into greatness. Newcastle is playing in the Champions League now, what were they doing before?"

Robson also praised Mourinho.

"Jose is a tireless and meticulous coach. Since I met him, he has tried to do everything perfectly, so I don't feel surprised that he has achieved extraordinary results now. When he said he was going to be an assistant coach, I told him why not become a head coach directly?"

"Then he became the head coach of Inter Milan, and we all saw that he was so outstanding and won almost all the championships! Now he can be said to be one of the best coaches in the world."

The two of them never mentioned the upcoming game, but talked about each other's past and the warmth between master and apprentice. This is completely different from the press conferences in other sessions. It is all a tense feeling, and I wish I could fight at the press conference...

However, having fun before the game does not mean that the game is happy.

In this game, Mourinho used the central defender combination of Stam and Matrachi, with the left backs Grosso and Panucci respectively, and Sanetti was mentioned in the midfield, forming a team with Cambiaso and Dibiagio. The forward line was still Robben, Adriano and Ronaldo.

Buffon returned to the roster, but did not become the starter.

On Newcastle, goalkeeper Given; defender Griffin, Dabissas, O'Brien, Aaron Hughes; midfielder Solano, Dale, Speed, Viana; forward Bellamy, Shearer.

Newcastle has many stars, such as Solano, Dale, Bellamy and Shearer.

But just 66 seconds into the game, Newcastle was hit.

Zanetti accelerated to break through on the right, and made a low cross. Adriano did not touch the ball at the front point, and Robben at the back point easily scored the ball 3 meters in front of the goal. Newcastle United goalkeeper Jiwen was not able to save the ball, and Inter Milan led with one goal.

But things went in a worse direction. In the 5th minute, Bellamy had a dispute with Matrazi. Bellamy kicked Matrazi down, and French referee Bray sent Bella out as a red card.

It seems that everything is moving towards Mourinho's expectations before the game, and successfully letting Bellamy off after the game starts, which is the key point of tacticality. But the game did not become simple after that.

In the 10th minute of the first half, Stam knocked Shearer down behind his back and received a yellow card. Because he already had a yellow card in the first stage, he would miss the next Champions League game. The Magpie, who was hit, immediately started counterattacking in 11 minutes, but unfortunately Dabissas' header was off the top.

Despite many difficulties, Newcastle, who had 10 players, still posed a considerable threat to Inter Milan. Solano, Viana and Dell cooperated and almost scored to equalize the score.

If Bellamy hadn't been stupid, Newcastle would have really held Inter Milan at home to play, and luck would not be on Newcastle's side.

In the 26th minute, the referee Bree gave Sanetti a yellow card to deliberately block the ball.

However, Inter Milan then began to gain a foothold, and Newcastle goalkeeper Given became the busiest person. He first saved Ronaldo's must-try shot, and then stopped Adriano's header.

Three minutes later, Solano sent a beautiful cross, but unfortunately Hiller missed the top of the ball.

In the 35th minute of the first half, Adriano received a corner kick from his teammate Ronaldo at the far point and was blocked by Jiwen, but Cambiaso rushed up and got the ball 20 meters in front of the goal and volleyed the ball straight into the upper corner of the goal. Inter Milan led 2:0.

Newcastle, who was behind two goals, still did not give up. In the 39th minute, Hiller broke through Stam and shot with his right foot, but unfortunately the ball went out from the left.

After missing the goal again, Robben broke through on the left and sent a wonderful pass to Adriano, who pushed the ball into the goal 5 meters in front of the goal, and Inter Milan led three goals in the first half!

After the start of the second half, Newcastle began to launch a large counterattack, but Inter Milan began to shrink its formation and launched a defensive counterattack. The two sides made no achievements in the first 20 minutes. Facing Inter Milan's concrete defense, Wigan Athletics lacked the ability to advance in depth.

Until the 72nd minute, Hiller's run attracted Inter Milan's Stam to leave the penalty area. Robert, who came on the bench, took the opportunity to pass the pass to the unguarded Solano, who shot with his left foot and scored the goal from under Fontana.

Then Buffon made a substitute for Fontana. After leaving the field for more than two months, he immediately saved Hiller's header.

Recoba soon replaced Robben. Recoba had just arrived and received a cross from Ronaldo on the right. He volleyed directly from the left corner of Newcastle's penalty area and scored the ball into the far corner. Goalkeeper Jiwen had no reaction at all.

In the end, Inter Milan defeated Newcastle 4-1 away.

Zheng Zhi did not go out with the team, and watched the entire game in front of the TV at home, and was shocked.

Mourinho really made a fuss, and Newcastle became a point-giving boy.

Ronaldo and Robben did not break their promises, and their performance was excellent. What Zheng Zhi had to do now is to pack his luggage and wait for the club's chartered flight to pick him up at Milan Airport. The next stop is naturally Yokohama, Japan...

This away three-pointer is very important, after all, he was obtained from a relatively weak opponent and there was no gutter capsizing.

The result of another game was also revealed. Leverkusen lost 1:2 to the powerful Barcelona at home. After the first round, Inter Milan ranked first with the advantage of goal difference, Barcelona ranked second, Leverkusen ranked third with zero points, and Newcastle conceded so many goals to be ranked at the end.

In the second round, they also have an advantage over Inter Milan and Barcelona because they returned to their home court and may have scored 6 points in the first two rounds...

The first round of the Serie A team can only be said to be average. AC Milan is in good shape, killing Real Madrid 1-0 at home, while Juventus drew 2-2 away with La Coruña, and Roma lost 1-3 at home, which is surprising.

...

Three hours later, Zheng Zhi successfully joined the team at Milan Airport and flew directly to Yokohama on a plane.

At the same time, Inter Milan's opponent Paraguay Olympia has just boarded the plane.

Three days later, fans around the world will focus on Yokohama International Stadium, where Olympia, who has eliminated River Plate, and countless big-name clubs such as Gremio, will compete with Inter Milan for the Toyota Cup.

It was a one-year operating fund of only $3 million (this fund is equivalent to China's A-B level), which was only enough to support clubs that washed clothes for Inter Milan players and cleaned up the stadium...

The dedicated Chinese Sports Weekly reporter flew to the South American country in order to obtain information about the Olympia team, just in time for the Olympia team to go to Japan.

In the eyes of the reporter of Sports Weekly, Paraguay's largest international airport is surprisingly small, and there are not many people waiting for the plane in the airport. But at 3 pm, hundreds of people suddenly squeezed in, surrounded by a group of people wearing black suits and black sunglasses. These people are Olympia players, and they are holding children, holding old-fashioned cameras, and clapping their hands and talking loudly. The people who hope to take photos with these players are their fans. They climbed onto the roof of the airport waiting hall and waited until the players boarded the plane to Sao Paulo, Brazil, and after taking off, they kept waving goodbye to the blue sky.

For Paraguay fans, the cost of going to Japan is simply unimaginable. Therefore, after meeting the reporter of Sports Weekly, countless Paraguay media flocked to him, hoping to cooperate with him and get photos of Olympia's training and competition in Japan.

According to the Japan Toyota Cup Organizing Committee, only one Paraguayan media sent a reporter to Japan for interviews on the day of the competition, and it was just a photographer.

In order to travel to Japan, the Olympia had to go to Sao Paulo, Brazil first, then transfer to Los Angeles, the United States, and wait for another 6 hours before boarding the plane to Japan. It is said that the reason for waiting for 6 hours is that there are cheap air tickets, although the Japanese organizing committee has paid them a long time ago.

This tossing journey means they have at least a day off than Inter Milan.

This year, Olympia has not been very smooth because they lost the domestic league championship. Fortunately, they won the cup championship and still have the opportunity to participate in the club cup in South America. For Paraguay teams, if they cannot participate in the club matches in South America, they will lose a lot of income and may cause the team to have a deficit.

The gap between the rich and the poor is indeed very serious.

There is only one Toyota Cup. If the Paraguayan wins the championship, each starting player will receive 30,000 euros, and the substitutes will be reduced by half;

If Inter Milan can win the cup, all players can get 100,000 euros. As one of the most prestigious clubs in Europe, Inter Milan's budget this year is US$253 million, while South American opponents standing in front of them are only US$20 million.

No fan of Paraguay Olympia went on an expedition with the team, while Inter Milan fans came with a total of 400, which did not include the 3,000 Chinese fans from China. In addition, everyone knows that most of the 50,000 live audiences would cheer for Inter Milan. As for the accompanying reporters, only one Paraguay reporter arrived in Tokyo, while in Italy, there were 30 reporters who arrived on the same plane as Inter Milan, and more than 50 reporters flew over to Tokyo...

Currently, Inter Milan's most influential star is Zheng Zhi, whose annual salary is as high as 7.5 million US dollars, and Paraguay's chief star is Benitez, who once played for Espanyol. His annual salary is only 204,400 euros...

Regardless of the outcome, Olympia can definitely get a considerable income, but the championship? Perhaps only Paraguayans will think there is a miracle. Almost all media believe that Inter Milan will defend the Toyota Cup.

Spinach even made a bare-winning handicap with Inter Milan having two and a half goals. The game has not started yet, and it seems that Inter Milan has already put the Toyota Cup champion in his pocket.

What Chinese fans care more about is whether Zheng Zhi can play in the game. They still hope that Zheng Zhi can add points to the upcoming Golden Ball Awards and World Footballer with excellent performance, although they know that Brazil's Ronaldo is the most promising...

During the first day of training, Zheng Zhi did not appear on the training ground, but stayed alone in the hotel gym.

During the next day's training, Zheng Zhi finally appeared, but did not practice with the team, but just jogged on the side of the court.

On the day of the game, Mourinho said at a pre-match press conference, "Zheng's injury has disappeared. He will definitely be on the bench, but he will not start."
